There will also be an opportunity to purchase tickets for raffle drawings, as well as take part in silent and live auctions during the evening.

Vendors confirmed for the Edible Expo include, among others, Tacos de Nieve, Hula’s, D’Boni’s Pizza, Austin Meats, Chick-Fil-A, Canes, Lumberyard Cellars, Clark Ferrea, Seagram’s Escapes, Raven Sourdough Co., Escalon Premier Brands and Mar Val.

“We are still waiting on verification from a couple more,” noted April Adams, one of the event coordinators. “We also are accepting auction items, donations and have room for a couple more food vendors.”
